Perched 15 floors above Coolangatta Beach on the Gold Coast, we're being treated to a wondrous and constantly changing view of the Pacific Ocean, beaches, and mountain hinterland around us. But nestled in one corner of the park between our apartment and the beach is a tiny fair that's sprung up to provide some Christmas entertainment. I thought it represented a nice opportunity to test out the new Canon G11 I've added to the photographic arsenal, and so I screwed on a Joby gorilla-pod and clamped the camera to the balcony railing for a long-exposure shot that I think came out nicely. Low noise, low shake, and lovely colors, although I still need to do a little adjustment on the halogen lighting, methinks.
